Pompeii is a fascinating close up look at how the ancient Romans lived and
worked. As you're standing among the vast area of ruins, it's quite
overwhelming. One can't believe how sophisticated the Roman's were
at the time the city was buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD. During our visit,
we came across floor mosaics, colorful wall frescos and streets lined with
shops that sold food at marble countertops. We walked into one area that
was called the Bakery section. The design of the bakery ovens were
astounding. We only planned on a day trip to Pompeii, however, we wish
we had three days to spend as there is so much to see. Here are a few
pictures of this lost city.
